You have to pay good money for a good nova but that is the problem

Plenty of decent 1.2L novas for £500, just need a better engine.

Corsa. Ive owned both and by the time you have made a stonking nova track car, you should have just bought a corsa and spent a day making it lighter.

Corsas are 2inch wider track too, Easier to find bits for and IMO, a much easier car to get how you want it.

I was in the same boat. Couldn't find a decent nova for good money so found a 1.6 16v corsa for £300.

Id say go for corsa, more of them about when the shell snaps/you crash it.

I don't normally get on this bandwagon, but are you actually trying to talk English?

Get a Corsa but you have to remove so much weight from it to make them as quick as a 1.6 16v Nova.

its a tough choice but personally i think i would go for the corsa. parts are easy to come by and can get a good corsa for pennies. but tbh theres not alot in it both make a good cheap track car.

P.S try keep text typing to a minimal.

id go for a corsa, wider wheel base trhan a nova so should handle betteer too. and as said newer, more parts, panels etc available and could get a pretty tidy shell for a few hundred quid nowadays
